West Brom to open talks with Tim Sherwood

West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace has opened discussions with former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood regarding the vacant position at The Hawthorns.

Tim Sherwood is believed to have already accepted a contract offer from West Bromwich Albion but the deal is likely to be stalled as the former Spurs coach also wants WBA to offer a deal to his assistant manager Les Ferdinand.

WBA hope to wrap up a deal for Sherwood before the end of next week.
